    I messed up the audio on the last episode. BUT, I figured out what I did. This is a short demo of what AI can do forecasting the weather. I'm not going to do this other than I wanted to see how it would sound. :)

  • 2 Weeks Using Apple Podcasts As My Only Podcast App – MDW402

    2 Weeks Using Apple Podcasts As My Only Podcast App – MDW402
    Apr 24 2025
    As an Apple fanboy with a collection of Apple devices, I wanted to share what motivated this experiment. I hadn’t used Apple Podcasts for my personal listening in quite a while—I mostly opened it to double-check my own podcast episodes for work. My go-to app had always been Overcast, mostly because of its smart playlisting feature. It made it super easy to organize and stay on top of my favorite shows. But one thing Apple Podcasts does really well is helping users discover new podcasts. I love that it gives you sample episodes without needing to subscribe first—that feature alone really caught my attention. While I was at an event in Chicago recently, I had a chance to chat with someone from Apple. They showed me some features I hadn’t even noticed before—like the ability to save episodes for later without subscribing to the full podcast. I’m still not a fan of how the industry has moved from saying "subscribe" to "follow," but I end up using both terms depending on the context. One of the biggest things I’ve come to appreciate about Apple Podcasts is how well it processes audio and syncs across all my Apple devices. I can start listening on my desktop, pick it up on my iPhone, and even continue on the Apple TV without missing a beat. That cross-device sync is slick. Plus, I can access video podcasts through the Apple TV app—something Overcast doesn’t offer. That said, there are definitely things I miss from Overcast. Apple Podcasts doesn’t have smart playlists. Instead, it uses something called “Stations,” which can pull in episodes from shows I choose, but I still have to manually line them up to play in the order I want. So while I’m enjoying the discovery side of Apple Podcasts, I’m still not sure if it’ll become my long-term app—I just really like how Overcast handles playlists. Toward the end of the episode, I also talked a bit about what’s been going on personally. Spring has finally arrived here, and I’ve been spending time with family and working on a few projects—including updates to the camper and getting a ham radio setup installed. I’ve also been making progress on my website, so if you haven’t checked it out lately, I invite you to take a look. MikeDell.com And of course, I’ll be reviewing more podcast apps down the road, so stay tuned—and thanks, as always, for listening.

  • 2025 life updates – Dad, Snow, Beagles and MORE Snow – MDW 401

    2025 life updates – Dad, Snow, Beagles and MORE Snow – MDW 401
    Mar 1 2025
    It’s been a crazy start to the year, with a lot of big changes and challenges. One of the hardest things I’ve gone through recently is losing my dad. He passed away from lung cancer in early December 2024 after a long battle. Even though it was a peaceful passing, it’s still been really tough on the family. This winter has been relentless. We’ve had a ridiculous amount of snow since Thanksgiving, and I’ve spent a lot of time plowing. Now, don’t get me wrong—I actually enjoy plowing snow—but after doing it over and over, it started to wear me down. One silver lining is that I inherited my dad’s 2020 Toyota Tundra. It’s been a solid truck and has come in handy more times than I can count. On a much sadder note, we had a rough time with our beagles, Benny and Percy. Percy started getting aggressive, and on Christmas, he attacked Benny badly. After multiple incidents, including one where Benny needed stitches at the emergency vet, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to put Percy down. It was incredibly difficult, but it had to be done for Benny’s safety. Thankfully, the weather is starting to warm up a bit, and the snow is finally beginning to melt. I had to put my flying on hold for a while because of all the stress, but I’m hoping to get back in the air this spring. Around the house, I’ve been working on a few projects—running conduit for internet and electrical lines. Unfortunately, I had a storage tent collapse under the weight of all that snow. That thing is a total loss, so I’m making plans to build something more permanent to store my yard equipment. Before wrapping up, I just want to remind everyone to stay subscribed and check out my website for updates. I also post daily facts on social media if you’re into that sort of thing. And who knows—maybe in a future episode, I’ll even talk about politics. (Or maybe not!) Thanks for sticking with me, and I’ll catch you in the next one!
